Cardiac Valve Prosthesis Naming and Modeling
This Editorial Guide is used for Education Purposes Only. It is used in the Authoring Courses and Certifications. It is based on the January 2026 Editorial Guide.
Naming
FSN
Use the following naming pattern for the FSN; align terming and case sensitivity with the FSN for the concepts selected as the attribute values, excluding the semantic tag.
[is sterile] [compositional material] [device intended site] cardiac valve prosthesis (physical object)
For example,
Biologic cardiac valve prosthesis (physical object)
Aortic valve prosthesis (physical object)
Preferred Term
Use the following naming pattern for the PT; align terming and case sensitivity with the PT for the concept that is selected as the attribute value.
[is sterile] [compositional material][device intended site]cardiac valve prosthesis
For example,
Biologic cardiac valve prosthesis
Aortic valve prosthesis
Synonym
Synonyms are not generally added for concepts in this hierarchy.
Exceptions:
Heart in place of cardiac, such as in "biologic heart valve prosthesis"
"Bioprosthesis" for biologic cardiac valve prosthesis
Modeling
Stated parent concept(s)
14789005 |Prosthetic implant (physical object)|
303619008 |Cardiac implant (physical object)|
705991002 |Mechanical heart valve prosthesis (physical object)|, if applicable
258166002 |Custom made implant (physical object)|, if applicable
Semantic tag
(physical object)
Attribute: Has device intended site (attribute)
Range: <<123037004 |Body structure (body structure)|
NOTE: While the MRCM allowed range includes the top-level concept, 123037004 |Body structure (body structure)|, only the descendants should be used in modeling cardiac valve prosthesis concepts.
Cardinality: 0..1
Attribute: Has compositional material (attribute)
Range: <<105590001 |Substance (substance)|
NOTE: While the MRCM allowed range includes the top-level concept, 105590001 |Substance (substance)|, only the descendants should be used in modeling cardiac valve prosthesis concepts.
Cardinality: 0..*
Attribute: Is sterile (attribute)
Range: 31874001 |True (qualifier value)| OR 64100000 |False (qualifier value)
Cardinality: 0..1
